Figure 3 demonstrates the snapshots and the coordination amount distributions of monocrystalline, liquid, and amorphous germanium. The liquid germanium has the widest variety of coordination range from a few to 8, even though the amorphous germanium contains fourfold coordinated atoms, fivefold coordinated atoms, and a small level of sixfold coord
